I may end up changing my mind on this but for now listing this. Local is preferred and will go with them over shipping. However if no one local is interested and you want me to ship feel free to PM me. I'll look into how to ship this. $400 plus shipping I bought this from daboyz a year or two ago. I'll post pics and tubes later. I dont have the remote but its in great condition. I'm happy with the sound but wife is wanting something with a better remote and maybe something with an enclosure.
Setup:

PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    I think I've had a Dared probably 3 times and the Whyteleaf's are really excellent tubes. Whoever gets this is really going to love them with the Brimar.

    Sorry for the inconvenience I picked up a Peachtree idac yesterday and have been listening to it more with the Dared and everything sounds so much better.

    I also got a Pioneer Elite SC-81 for a good price to take care of the bedroom. Going to try to sell some other stuff to be able to keep the Dared.

    I landed a great deal on a new preamp today on Craigslist. It is going to replace this one so I'm selling it for sure this time. Also will give a better price $350 plus shipping.

    What did you get to replace the Dared?

    T+A Pulsar P 1230 R I didn't get a chance to spend too much time researching it. But for the price had to get it. Ideally I would give it more time to compare both but need to sell this to pay for it.

    I got a chance to listen to it this morning and a little last night and I do like it but it's a big change. I'll need to spend some more time on it but overall I think I'll be happy with it.

    Yeah I can see myself going back to tubes in the future. But for now looking forward to the change.

    Mark this as sold. Well partially I was able to sell the Mullards and with no interest on the rest made some arrangements to keep it.

    I'm glad I was able to keep it I'll be able to compare it to my new preamp and use it for my Haydn's.
